Should we be removing TV show episodes and movies from streaming services because they may be perceived as offensive?

Either because they were racist ironically (as a form of satire) or because they are from a different time when racist tropes were more acceptable.

Notice I am not asking "is it allowed?" I am aware that streaming services can remove what they want. I'm asking [i]should[/i] they?

No, you can't write about any time period authentically without it being accurate, or otherwise it just becomes a joke. How do you do different fictional characters if you can't relate them to real life? Unfortunately there are racist people out there, acting like they don't exist makes it all a joke.
